More on the crackdown on America's run amok liberal nuns. From the AFP:
The Vatican has issued a scathing condemnation of the main association of Catholic nuns in the United States for taking liberal stances on contraception, homosexuality and female priests.
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) said in a statement on Thursday it was "stunned" by the Vatican report which pointed to "serious doctrinal problems" and "unacceptable positions" on a range of issues.
It accused members of LCWR, which represents around 45,000 US nuns, or 80 percent of the total, of "corporate dissent" with the Church's teachings against homosexuality and said it was pursuing "radical feminist themes".
This overhaul will bear much good fruit. Not to see this as a serious problem would require herculean skills in denial and delusion. Let's hope and pray for robust action and not merely bland talking points. This move, coupled with the fact that it is the conspicuously joyful, traditional and faithful religious orders that are actually growing by leaps and bounds, while the orders teeming with liberal dissidents and radical feminists are simply getting older, angrier, and are well on the road to extinction.
Time heals all.
